Or now, if for some reason you still want one. It wouldn't cost you quite as much as Visual Studio Ultimate, but it would likely cost you more than Visual Studio Professional With MSDN($1,199) and a fairly impressive modern PC.

If you do need lambdas, Ruby does also have those. "lambda { return x + y}" does what you want it to.

One day, I was playing Dragon Age. I made a City Elf character. Spoilers follow: At one point early in the game, your soon-to-be-wife is kidnapped by the son of the lord of the town outside which the ghetto in which you live is located. He

For how many of the applications available for touchscreen phones and tablets is the touchscreen really necessary? For some of them(fast-paced games, visual-arts-related things, etc.), the touchscreen is key, but those are largely inherentl

How do you feel about Javascript? Objective-J? Why not try using Node.js for the server and Cappuccino for the client? That's a webapp with need of only one-ish(does Javascript and Objective-J count as one language?) language.

If you use Cappuccino, you're down to, at most, two languages: Objective-J and your server-side language. Considering that Objective-J is essentially a superset of Javascript, if you're okay with Javascript as your server-side language(or i

How does that prove that men are "easier" than women? It only indicates that within Okcupid's membership, men are more likely to initiate communication with a potential partner. Perhaps women are no more selective than men, but simply typic

I think you could easily write a function that defers a handler that will swallow any errors or send them on a channel and calls the supplied function. Instead of "go foo()", you would "go dontPanic(foo)" or "go panicToChan(foo, errChan)".

I don't really understand how the Clojure syntax-quote somehow prevents name-capturing any more than that of Common Lisp does(except for the foo# gensym shortcut). The Common Lisp backquote automatically qualifies symbols in the current pac
